This 2008 Mercedes has 17 MOT tests on record with a 88% pass rate and 33,320 miles. The recurring brake issues, combined with known model weaknesses, warrant careful inspection.
The vehicle shows consistent low annual mileage, averaging 6,140 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though recent usage has been minimal.
Things to check
- Major brake pipe corrosion failure on 2020-09-19, though immediately rectified.
- Recurring brake hose advisories (2011, 2012, 2014) indicate a historical pattern of wear.
- Community-reported high-risk issues: wheel bearing, transmission vacuum modulator, timing chain, and head gasket.
- Low recent mileage (1,876 miles in 2025) suggests minimal use, which can lead to component degradation.
Working in its favour
- Strong overall MOT pass rate (7 of 8 tests passed) with no recent failures.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (6,140 miles/year) suggests light use.
- No dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
- Valid MOT until September 2026, offering immediate peace of mind.
